Toxik because they are underrated af

Autopsy. Underrated early death metal band.

Suggestion: Top 10 Exodus riffs!

[@bjoern_thun_dersteel]

Yes

[@TheLegend-yo3fw]

Top 10 Megadeth Riffs🤘

[@carljustinemorales2037]

Whoah thats hard man.. All exodus riffs are hard hittin

[@dutch2g]

Agreed, really missing Exodus on this channel

[@TheLegend-yo3fw]

Exodus Kicks Ass🤘

[@Simotin]

Finally some old school stuff. Testament really nails it on so many level, especially on the first two albums. It's violent and energetic without sacrificing any melodic aspect or other other emotions. Peterson might be one of the greatest rhythm guitarists in the scene, ever, and don't even get me started on Skoknick...

[@veerakirby2722]

Absolutely. Those first 2 are the shit! I met Alex once and let him know as well 😂

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

When I first heard Burnt Offerings I thought the harmonized riff was wild and still is! Something so unusual sounding yet so catchy. Eerie Inhabitants is a banger as well.

[@anothername2730]

They are right up there with the “Big 4” of thrash, even better in some regards.

[@systematic11]

@@Cthulhu_Awaken that harmony riff is out of control. Probably my favorite of theirs. Something about it is so majestic, yet off-putting. They aced it.

[@franco1926]

@@anothername2730 I would put them in the big 4 over Megadeth.

[@josephjelinek1841]

Im a Testament fan from way back! I've meet Alex skolnick he's a real class act ! He's very intelligent and friendly! Meet him Here in Hawaii. He's was on his morning run an he passed me . I Instantly turned and called out his name. He stopped with a surprised look on his face. We stood and talked for about ten minutes on the side walk and the he went back to his run!

[@jasons.3921]

I agree..met Alex when I was 19 and saw him again 25 years later. He was kind and patient at both times.

[@dvalentino885]

That's Class! And shows huge respect for fans, and stopped to give his time and attention it's amazing 👍 Top man , diamond geezer 👍

[@therisendead7]

I bought The New Order when I was 15 and freaking loved it. Thanks for reminding me of how great Testament's riffs are...time to go learn some 🤘

[@JudgeDrey]

I was about 14 I think. Was totally blown away. Probably what turned me on the most about wanting to play guitar.

[@Bdizzle-tm6bt]

Man forgot how sick testament are, henchmen ride is my favorite riff and song by them

[@vikingguitar]

Exceptional tone choice here. The low gain really let’s the picking articulation come through. Great playing!

[@helljumper115]

God I love Eric Peterson his riffs are amazing!

[@dragroch5536]

Legion of the Dead is one of my favourite songs ever and this video got us to hear the riff more isolated in the mix. I can just feel the anger and energy in that riff

[@KrilleCaveman]

I love their riffs so catchy and heavy, great video man

[@jasons.3921]

Just hearing these riffs reminds me of some great times in my younger life. How I loved going to the shows and getting close to the stage, only to have my ears blown off. Eric Peterson is a great rhythm guitarist and his compositions are not easily played. Well done and thanks for the vid.

[@broncoxy]

Am struggling with Legions of the Dead for a while now lmao, good job! And yes, all my favs are here, Legions, The New Order and D.N.R.... goood stuff

Why is Anthrax considered one of the Big4 when there's Testament?

[@allandnothing5987]

Exactly..Testament is legions better than Anthrax

[@DimaNSK-vy4br]

Because Anthrax is a more commercially successful thrash metal band than Testament. That's why there's a big four.

[@fixi2255]

@@DimaNSK-vy4br testament has 2,8 million monthly listeners while anthrax has 1,2 million

[@DimaNSK-vy4br]

@@fixi2255 Genius, it's not measured by the number of plays on music services, but by the number of albums sold. Apparently Anthrax sold more albums than Testament.

No Return to Serenity? Their best riffs in one song! Even as an outro...

[@standepain]

Always loved the harmonizing guitar is Ride the Snake right before the main riff kicks in. Gathering is such a underrated album, glad to see you threw a few in here.

[@uzairp278]

Best Shadows Fall riffs

Ahhh TestamenT The band from the Big FIVE of Thrash. I NEVER forget the first time I ever heard Testament's WALL OF DISTORTION sound on The New Order. It was like being slapped in the fucking face! Then hearing the insane riffs and harmonies and leads on The Legacy. OMG. Saw them open for Megadeth and Slayer, and Testament were the ones too loud for the arena. Lol. Anyways, great job!

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

Nice one my man! I agree with all those picks, my favourite riffs of Testament are all there!

[@Twigz0rz]

I loved this! And everyone's got an opinion, but mine is that 'The Pale King' is the best Testament song ever, it's such a circle pit generator
